PROPHETIC WORDS
THERE IS WEIGHT IN THE WAIT AND POWER IN THE PAUSE. . . .

There is WEIGHT in the WAIT and POWER in the PAUSE….
As I was praying this morning I had a sense of a PAUSE or WAITING in the atmosphere before a big season of forward momentum in the moving of the Holy Spirit. I felt like heaven was INHALING, and holding the breath, before EXHALING on the earth….
I sense we’re at a real tipping point in the Spirit and what is coming is greater, more exciting, and more life changing than we’ve experienced before!
Three images came to mind:
A roller coaster making its slow ascent up the big climb, and pausing at the top before the thrill of the crazy downhill ride!
Little bonfires being lit individually along a beach, and gently being nurtured until a big wind blows and they all catch and are set ablaze together!
A dam, trickling with a little water, as the water pressure is mounting behind it, and then SUDDENLY, bursting and water gushing through with huge momentum and power, changing the trajectory and landscape of the flowing river ahead of it.
Powerful images of PAUSE before a huge outpouring.
What we do in the PAUSE is crucial….
This PAUSE is a time for us to PREPARE. I saw people intentionally making a new and different sort of space in their hearts and homes for Him. Something beyond their normal time with Him. I saw people creating, preparing, and setting apart a little place of intentional meeting with Him, both physically and spiritually, and as they did, He was DELIGHTED and was drawing near and INHALING…..
I sense God is going to be speaking very clearly to people in that special place – as we draw near to Him, He WILL draw near to us!
There is WEIGHT in the WAIT and POWER in the PAUSE, as we are intentional in creating that new space, time, and place for Him. It’s preparation of our hearts for what is ahead in the Spirit!
